Beekeeping

Beekeeping, also known as apiculture, is an occupation of keeping honeybees for honey. Honeybees are kept in boxes, in which they make their honeycombs, live in it, and make honey from the nectar collected from flowers growing in the neighbourhood. Bees store the honey there in the honeycombs, which are taken outside and honey is extracted by a mechanism using centrifugal force. The honeycombs are then put again inside the box without causing any damage to it, so that honeybees can live their peacefully.

The occupation involves taking possession of the queen of bees. The colony of honeybees automatically comes with their queen. The queen and the colony are put inside the box in which they make their honeycombs. A colony of bees live with a single queen. When another queen is bred, a time comes when the colony split into two, and one colony with their queen leave the box for another place, if the beekeeper fails to put them in another box.

Beekeeping involves great care for the honeybees.
